Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On December 19, 2005, AT&T Inc., a Delaware corporation and the parent company of AT&T Corp., a New York corporation (“AT&T Corp.”), received notification that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the independent registered public accounting firm for the below-listed plans of AT&T Corp. (the “Plans”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Plans effective immediately. The reports of PwC on the financial statements of the Plans as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and through December 19, 2005, the Plans had no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements of the Plans for such years.
During the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and through December 19, 2005, the Plans had no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Plans provided PwC a copy of the above disclosures and requested that PwC furnish the Plans with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated December 22, 2005, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
